Union education minister has informed that the class 10 and 12 board exams will not be held in January-February and the schedule of board exams will be decided only in the month of February, Pokhriyal said. A live interaction with teachers was arranged by the Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ on Tuesday (December 22) to interact on the upcoming board examinations. 

"Cancelling exams and promoting students without exam will result in putting a stamp on these students. These students might face trouble in getting jobs and admissions at higher education level in future. We do not want that for our students. Thus, cancellation will not happen. Thus, board exams will be held but postponed", said Pokhriyal. "Many countries have cancelled one entire academic year but our teachers continued to work hard and did not allow any candidate to waste their academic year. Teachers are no less than corona warriors for training 33 crore students across countries during this tough time," the Education Minister added. 

Minister highlighted importance of a Teacher and said a teacher is a key between the drafting of the national education policy (NEP) and its implementation on the ground which is a tough task but mandatory one. About online education, he said CBSE has trained 4.80 lakh teachers in online education teaching, and several platforms including 'Nishtha' plays a vital role in online education. NEP is to introduce vocational training with an internship for the students from class 6, and expressed pride as India is the first country to introduce AI at school level. The minister said it is not mandatory to follow previous schedule and had sought teachers' suggestions about the conduct of exams.
